The Hours Cafe, Bookshop & Deli is in the running to be named 'Best Small Shop in the UK'.
The business, opened by Nicola Bickerton & Leigh Hendra on Brecon's Ship Street in 2010 after extensive refurbishment to a listed building, expanded in 2017 renovating a second listed building to open a Deli next door.
Affectionately referred to by visitors from near and far as 'the wonky green shop'; the owners were thrilled to learn they had been shortlisted in the last 25 of the national competition. Nicky said: 'We're extremely proud to represent Brecon, and indeed Wales in this nationwide competition, getting into the last 25 is incredibly exciting'.
The UK Best Small Shops competition includes all kinds of independent shops from all over the UK highlighting the contribution of independent retailers to the UK’s high streets, celebrating their personal commitment, innovation and community engagement.
The Hours has been invited to attend a reception at the House of Commons on November 5th where the winner and other commended businesses will be named.
